Overview

Johnson looks the part of an NFL quarterback, but he lost his starting job as a senior due to poor play. He is a big strong kid with a good arm, but he rarely sets his feet and is a very inaccurate. He also makes poor decisions locking on to one receiver and forcing passes into harm's way. His athleticism is his greatest strength, as he is fast and shows good instincts as an open field runner. Johnson's erratic play and decision making will scare off a lot of teams, but his athletic ability could make him an attractive late round pick or free agent.

Analysis

Strengths

Johnson possesses ideal size and very good athleticism. He has a strong arm, shows good zip on deep outs and throws an accurate deep ball. Stands tall in the pocket and is difficult to bring down. Very mobile and is a good runner once he breaks contain.

Weaknesses

Has a bit of a long release and does not throw over the top. Sloppy footwork leads to too many poor passes. Forces a lot of balls and ignores the easy check downs. Abandons pass too soon at times and looks to run. Gets down on himself when he struggles and loses focus.
